Hey... So after dinner one day my tongue was wondering around my mouth like getting whatever might have got stuck to a tooth right... Well I feel my upper teeth and not the two front but the one two over from the right front tooth that one it feels like a sharp edge... So I was feeling around and stuff, then I put my finger in and it feels different from the tooth like that on the other side.

So is it chipped? Also I noticed that when I brush over that area or floss between it starts to bleed and it appears to look like a lil dark dot... Probably buildup from the day, but when I stuck the floss up there and rubbed against the gum it started bleeding and hurt a little.

So could it be a chipped tooth? I don't have any pains... It's just a lil sharp and my tongue keeps giving that tooth attention... I so hope that it's not chipped... My mouth has been through enough hell... And the ortho would have noticed if that one area was a gap and needed to be fixed with more braces...

Gah...

Anyone who knows what a chipped tooth is please reply... Take these worries away... It's just bothering me.

Please, thanks.

It might just be chipped enamal and your dentist could just smooth it over. The toungue always magnify things so it might not be a big chip. If it is a big chip then it could be covered over with a filling material or you could have it crowned!
The little dark spot could be decay starting.

Well the dark spot is like where there is a lil gap I suppose... I mean I brush floss and mouthwash... Blah.

Yeah maybe my tongue is just like spazing out over it... It's not like I have any pain.
